Story

Beautiful vintage red sub with complete set, tags, original box and submariner booklet as well as translation booklet. A true collectors item with the very rare “pateted“ 9315 bracelet (see picture).

Oyster band, type 9315, case and band are in very good condition.

For collectors this rare misspelling is of significant interest. It is thought that Rolex first came out with the “patent pending” 9315 in the meters first dials (please refer to our “PatentPending “ meters first watch displayed here on Chrono or on our website). Later the very valuable and rare misspelling “Pateted” 9315 was produced and mostly the feet first dials were equipped with this unique bracelet. We have found 3 of these rare 9315 in our search for these rare finds. Please refer to our 5513 and the other feet first red sub displayed here on Chrono as well as on our website.

This watch is a true collectors dream and has been exclusively purchased from known clients for our exclusive sports Rolex collectors.
